No joking Jordan,
                 Just replaced my defunked VCR with a
DVDR and the oil plug will never be removed again from
my Westy.   Pumping out the dipstick is like using a
DVDR, but take your time and figure it out, perhaps by
Sunday, Monday or any day of the week.
We see time at our own pace.  best wishes, gary
